Oracle Acquires Tangosol, adds Parallel Transaction Processing Support
At TSSJS 2007, Oracle announced an agreement to acquire data grid producer Tangosol, whose Coherence data cache has been used in many large financials. Coherence is likely to play a major role in Oracle's "Extreme Transaction Processing" initiative.
Extreme Transaction Processing - XTP - refers to the capability to manage a single transaction across systems on the grid, in parallel, which not only makes processing faster, but also clears up some requirements for explicit transaction orchestration. Tangosol will play a crucial part in Oracle's XTP capabilities.
The acquisition is expected to be finalized in April 2007; financial details were not announced. Until the purchase is complete, business will be conducted as usual on both Oracle's and Tangosol's parts.
Congratulations to Tangosol and Oracle on their new business relationship! We at TSS look forward to seeing how Coherence blends in with Oracle's middleware strategy.
Plus, now we get to call Cameron an Oracle drone. :)

Re: Oracle Acquires Tangosol
This news was quite a surprise. Was just hobknobbing with Tangosol folk this past Tues. where they were doing a data grid presentation. Not even a smidgen of a hint that this was in the works.
After the surprise my second reaction - that Cameron will now be too rich to socialize with us mere mortals anymore. :-)
And third reaction is that Oracle is indeed the "Microsoft" of enterprise-ware. They now have the best-of-breed data grid.

Re: Oracle Aquires Tangosol
wow, this will really help coherence adoption, You do? I am not so sure. From what Cameron has been saying (what i have been reading) they were growing really well. It didn't seem like they needed help. I personally don't care that is now under the Oracle umbrella, but I bet there are a lot of those who think otherwise. Anyway, congrats to Cameron and the rest.

Re: Oracle Aquires Tangosol
Good for Cameron but alas, Oracle is not known to play well regarding 'opened' or 'well though and simple' solutions. They like to sell big, heavy and overcomplex products (vendor locked in purpose is in their mind). Coherence used to be very easy to integrate in many architectures; it was focused, light and usable without too much dependencies. I guess one now will have to use a huge oracle software stack to enjoy coherence. Too bad for us who like too keep systems and architecture as uncluttered as possible.

Re: Oracle Aquires Tangosol
TopLink was just burped out of the belly of the beast as open source. Who knows maybe Coherence will follow.
TopLink was open-sourced because it was competing against the free, open-source Hibernate, along with a number of other products. Oracle probably noticed they couldn't make money out of TopLink license sales any more, so they open sourced it to seed the market for their higher-end products and services.
Coherence on the other hand has no competition, either open-source or commercial. It brings in a healthy stream of revenue all on its own, which is why almost certainly why Oracle wanted it. I don't think there's any chance of it being open-sourced in the forseeable future.

Great poker face
I'm glad for Tangosol and Oracle on the news. The Oracle sales team should be able to greatly expand on Tangosol's success.
As for Cameron, I had no idea what a great poker face he has. Cameron gave his speech yesterday at the Server Side Java Symposium and didn't let on anything. I'm not sure if that is his skill or the power of the non-disclosure agreeement.
I'm invited to a press conference this morning by Oracle on the announcement. I'll post something here if its newsworthy.

This is an acquisition that warms the cockles when you hear about it.
It must be a good time for acquisitions as in recent times the crew from tangosol, solarmetric, jboss, c24 have all done deals.
Now the wine can go up a notch! :)

A boost or a hindrance?
While I am glad for the Tangosol guys, I have concerns about how this acquisition will affect future consideration of Tangosol as a stack component in client shops. My concern, of course, stems from the fact that I work in one of those shops!
Will this mean: 1. Non-Oracle clients pass Coherence over, due to a perception of it being an Oracle suite product? OR 2. Clients more eagerly consider / integrate Coherence, since it now has the full power of Oracle's marketing brawn?
Oh well. Market economics marches on... ;)

For how much?
Does anyone know how many million$? I don't see that in the press report. Since Tangosol is not a public company we don't know it's value also.
Any guess?

I'm gonna take a guess and say Cameron will be able to buy a bigger and better boat :) Maybe now coherence can move out of sommerville to a bigger office with lots of parking. for those who have tried to find the tangosol office, man it's darn near impossible if you don't know sommerville like the back of your hand.

quality of product and support
I hope the quality and commitment of tangosol does not get tangled into red tape and politics at oracle. i m sure there is some complex package of products i will have to buy to get tangosol from oracle. its inevitable!! I hope spring doesnt go that route. I will be the end of good quality products created by quality professionals.
Also brings up a point - what is BEA going to do given oracle is gulping up so many good products & also firing all cylinders on fusion ?

Re: quality of product and support
I[t] will be the end of good quality products created by quality professionals.
My experience disagrees, Shawn. TopLink (from The Object People by way of WebGain) and BPEL Server (from Collaxa), to pick just two examples, were both "good quality products" when they were acquired by Oracle in 2002 and 2004, respectively. And they have gotten substantially better over their release streams since, and are both still available as standalone products.
And I've had the privilege of meeting and working with an incredible number of "quality professionals" in my two years at Oracle. I've been impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge, and the professionalism and skill, of the developers I've worked with here.
Also brings up a point - what is BEA going to do given oracle is gulping up so many good products & also firing all cylinders on fusion ?
Indeed.
Cameron, I look forward to working with you.

Smalltalk... You could use .NET?
Hey Randy,
While we haven't told Cam just yet, you can actually use Coherence with Smalltalk if you're happy with one of the many Smalltalk/Net options.
It's pretty cool. You can manage Smalltalk (.NET) objects in a reliable Data Grid and then access them across many languages, including Java, C#, VB, Excel, Word etc. Build services in what ever language you like, without wrappers or embedding JVMs, do event processing etc etc etc.
Clustering Smalltalk? Done!
Perhaps I can go back to using one of my favourite languages! So increment the Smalltalk development community by 1 more for me.
Cheers
-- Brian [Tangosol/Oracle]
PS: Once we have C/C++ natives (coming soon), you'll have even more options for integration :)

This acquisition is definitely a strong validation for the market we all been part of. Exactly. This a key point to take away IMO.

Congratulations to the Tangosol team.
I hope you retain your techie culture and developer-friendly attitude, which, in my opinion, is the second most attractive feature of Tangosol, the first being the product, of course. Also, I am not sure which way the product price will go, higher or lower.
All in all, a very strong validation of Tangosol's vision.

Re: Validation
Hi Slava -
Having some ideas about how Oracle works, I won't be surprised if GigaSpaces and others are in for an unpleasant surprise in form of free open source Coherence.
In a case such as this, open sourcing the software would be useful primarily to gain market share. Coherence already has the leading market share by a pretty good margin, and remains both profitable and growing as a product line.
However, we are determined to make Coherence even more pervasive, and will look at lots of options to accomplish that.

future is bright
Another good thing Oracle will mess up.
We've invested far too much of ourselves in this to let it get "messed up". We're keeping our team, and keeping it intact, and are determined to continue to provide the quality of service that Tangosol is known for.
If the oc4j team wants to use it for clustering oc4j, they will now have that option. Same goes for TopLink. Our goal is to continue to make Coherence the most compelling product in its space, and we've got a lot in the pipeline.

I think by Oracle measures something that produces some 5M of revenue just doesn't exist. Simply because in order to feed Oracle 5000 sales one would have to install a clustered cache in every microwave, fridge and cell phone :)
At any rate, you guys did a great job. Taking a bootstrapped company to such level is huge. I am really happy for you.
